ABSTRACT: Objectives
This study analyzes and describes the literature of addictions treatment and indexing coverage for core journals in the field.Methods
Citations from three source journals for the years 2008 through 2010 were analyzed using the 2010 Mapping the Literature of Nursing and Allied Health Professions Project Protocol. The distribution of cited journals was analyzed by applying Bradford's Law of Scattering.Results

Drug and Alcohol Dependence was the most frequently cited journal. The frequency of cited addictions journals, formats cited, age of citations, and indexing coverage is identified.Conclusions
